Project: The Lagoons Master Plan and Design
Project Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Project #: 350346
Client: Sama Dubai
Project Role: Project Manager
Project Description: The Lagoons, a unique mixed use
development, is part of the Dubai Creek master plan which includes
the master planned communities of Old Town, and Wellness Center,
as well as the existing wilderness preserve. The Lagoons project is
envisioned as a major mixed-use commercial and residential
development with recreational and cultural centers consisting of 7
man-made islands, known as the “Pearls”, connected by waterways,
roads and bridges. Parsons scope is primarily to design the
infrastructure, roads, marinas, waterways, and bridges. The overall
construction value for the project will be over $30B+, but Parsons’
portion is only the infrastructure which should be about 5 to 10% of
that value. The key features of the infrastructure are:
Page: 9
• Area = 645 HA (1,600 Acres)
• Water = 197 Ha (490 Acres)
• Revetments Quay Walls = 52,000 m (32 miles)
• Marinas = 8 (1,300 Berths
• Bridges = 26 (Vehicle and Pedestrian)
• Buildings = 95M Square Feet (General Floor Area)
It is estimated that the finished project will accommodate about
125,000 residents, 105,000 workers, and over 70,000 visitors.
The Business Pearl is a major development in itself and is one of the

largest and most critical elements of The Lagoons project. The key
features of the Business Pearl are:
Page: 10
• 2,765 Apartments
• 1,741,480 Square Feet of Retail
• 15,608,630 Square Feet of Commercial Office
• 4,442 Hotel Rooms
• 340 Students Private School
The Business Pearl will account for a majority of the total traffic
generated by The Lagoons; therefore, significant efforts are being
put into solving the transportation issues intrinsic to the Business
Pearl and the distribution of utilities coming onto the island and
feeding the various buildings. This very dense development program
will be constructed on approximately 111 acres with many of the
buildings being over 50 stories in height. The island development will
require a seven-level 30,000 space parking structure and
commercial vehicle docking zones within a podium structure on the
man-made island. The Lagoons is located at the basin of Dubai
Creek and will only be accessible via four bridges.
Project Responsibilities: Bruce was responsible for planning and
producing the report related to the traffic impact assessment,
structural loading criteria, and validation of parking requirements; the
planning and review of the conceptual drawings for the roadway
network, parking, and infrastructure; and review of the detailed
geometric design of the major roadways and ramping systems. He
also coordinated among the client, master plan architect, landscape
architects, contractor, and various design disciplines.
Bruce worked directly with a subconsultant specialist to address the
original plans for the parking structure within the podium which called
for very steep ramps that could not adequately accommodate the
number of projected vehicle trips for the proposed number of parking
spaces.
Of the many challenges addressed was the need to provide express
ramps to all parking levels of the podium directly from three of the
four bridges. This was required because the levels of peak hour
traffic were so high that the planned surface street system could not
accommodate all the projected vehicle trips. Working together with
the subconsultant specialist, a plan was conceived that provided a
flat floor one-way ring road around a central core that can be entered
from down ramps on its outside and can be exited to up ramps on its
inside. The express up and down ramps were designed so that they
would stack in the same volume of space thereby maximizing the
amount of flat floor space that would be available for parking. Five
secondary ramp systems were also developed that would allow floor-floor
access from the surface level through the lowest level. These
secondary ramps were proposed as double circular helixes with
access to an outer ring road system.
The island is elliptical in shape and as such the parking bays were
recommended to be designed in a radial pattern that follows the
circumference of the island's shape between the podium’s inner ring
road and the edge of the parking structure. Inside the inner ring road
the parking bays were recommended to be parallel to the shorter
axis of the island and allowed for sloping floor ramps to serve the
lowest levels of parking between levels P5 and P7. A 9 meter by 18
meter column grid system was chosen outside of building footprints

to allow for clear span parking and enhanced vehicle circulation and
visibility.
Also, recommendations were provided with respect to traffic access
that resulted in enhanced access for commercial vehicle traffic to
and from the local road system surrounding the island and a traffic
management plan that would preclude cut-through traffic from an
adjacent island.
Project: R777 Creek Crossings Design
Project #: 646689
Client: Dubai Municipality
Project Description: The Sixth Crossing Corridor, R777/3, located
south of the new Business Bay Bridge (Ras Al Khor Corridor),
entailed constructing the major arterial along Sheikh Rashid Road
with interchanges at Riyadh Street, Ras Al Khor Road, Opera House
Island, Dubai Festival City/The Lagoons, Nadd Al Hamar Road,
Emirates Road, and Al Awir Road. A multi-span bridge was proposed
to connect Ras Al Khor Crossing Corridor with Nadd Al Hamar Road
and provide full navigation clearance for commercial and recreational
vessels. The Seventh Crossing Corridor, R777/4, is located just east
of the Maktoum Bridge and replaces the Floating Bridge, which was
an interim solution to the traffic issues. The Seventh Crossing will
included constructing new access roads to improve operations on
the roads accessing the Maktoum Bridge and increasing travel
speeds on both sides of Dubai Creek. The improvements consisted
of constructing a new roadway corridor beginning at Oud Metha
Road, running adjacent to Sheikh Rashid Hospital Compound, with a
new signalized intersection at Riyadh Street and through the Dubai
Creek Park to the new bridge crossing over Dubai Creek and landing
at the Road 9 and Baniyas Road intersection. The construction costs
of the Sixth and Seventh Crossing Corridors were approximately
$1.2 billion and $260 million, respectively.
Project Responsibilities: Bruce was responsible for the overall
management, which included the planning and design of various
subcontracts. He managed and coordinated preparation of the
Preliminary Study and follow-on studies related to the subcontracts,
as well as the design staff for submission of the subcontracts. Bruce
prepared the construction phasing and schedules for the various
subcontracts and coordinated among the client, agencies, service
authorities, and various design disciplines. The planning and design
for the project was primarily based on the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials’ publication, “A Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2001.”

Project: Muscat Expressway
Project Location: Muscat, Oman
Project #: 644778
Client: Muscat Municipality
Project Role: Area Project Manager
Project Description: Recognizing the need for a second corridor in
the Muscat Capital Area, Muscat Municipality in August 2001
selected Parsons to design and supervise the construction of the 54-
kilometer-long Muscat Expressway (previously known as the
Southern Expressway). In addition to alleviating traffic congestion
along the existing corridor, the new expressway provides access to
previously inaccessible areas, complementing the economic growth
of the region by opening up new areas for development served by an
efficient transportation network. By reducing congestion across the
capital area, the project provides socioeconomic and environmental
benefits, as it reduces travel times and distances.
Project Responsibilities: The project involved alignment selection
and the preparation of planning and design documents. The
expressway's alignment started at the Al Qurum Roundabout and
extended 52 km west along the foot of the mountains south of
Muscat City, then north to the proposed Al Batinah Highway with a
temporary at-grade connection to the Al Naseem Roundabout on the
Sultan Qaboos Highway. The project included 15 interchanges,
several wadi crossings, 44 bridges, and approximately 20 km of
cross roads through desert and mountainous terrain. The planning
and design for the new Southern Expressway was based on the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’
1994 publication, “A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and
Streets.”
As the area project manager, Bruce reviewed and analyzed the
planned alignment completed by another firm and discovered several
design speed related flaws, lack of adequate right of way, as well as
the planned horizontal alignment’s close proximity to the only
existing main corridor to access Muscat, Sultan Qaboos Highway.
Based on these findings and recommendation to re-plan the project
alignment, the Muscat Municipality directed Parsons to implement an
alignment selection process and report in order to re-establish and
document a proper project alignment. In addition to recommending a
horizontal alignment, the report covered interchange configurations
and design elements, including typical sections, vertical alignments,
number of lanes, right-of-way widths, drainage, utilities, pavement
markings, signage, lighting, and bridge type selection. Further, he
recommended the newly proposed alignment be elevated when
crossing a wadi (dried up riverbed, during sudden downpours have
lead to flash floods resulting in the flooding of Sultan Qaboos
Highway and have been highly dangerous to the residents of
Muscat), so as to form a dam in order to control the flash flooding
that occurs and protect Sultan Qaboos Highway, as well as the
residents of Muscat.
Page: 14

Bruce, as project manager, managed and coordinated the alignment
selection report, procured subcontracts, prepared project schedule
and invoices, and coordinated among the client, agencies, service
authorities, and various design disciplines. During this same time
period, Bruce served as the area manager for Parsons’
transportation business unit and established Parsons’ initial
transportation office in Muscat. His duties included selecting an office
building and procuring all office elements and services necessary to
have an operational business, including the hiring of design staff for
the design phase.
